I really must print off and laminate a copy of the Quick Reference Card – thanks! en passant, searching the helps for "change case" left me none the wiser ;-}
As for recording a macro, fine – but what action do I need to record? I tried recording a triple-click (which, in any case, doesn't always select a whole <entry>) and just got the message *Recording macro aborted: execution of "selectAtbegin" is forbidden in recording mode*. Hints and tips welcome!
